Student NYC Trip, Summer 2014: Donate to give our students the opportunity of a lifetime!

About GlobaloriaWhen you teach a kid to code, you open them up to a world of opportunity. Especially when that kid comes from a community with a 50% high school drop out rate and unemployment that's three times higher than the rest of the city.

The Globaloria curriculum teaches kids to code their own video games from scratch. Kids choose a social issue in which they are interested and build a game about it using math, research, problem solving, critical thinking and other career-building skills.Read more

At Southwest Key, we believe that to change lives, you must invest in
the community and that begins with education. East Austin College Prep
is all about transforming a community that has long been educationally
underserved. We began the transformation by setting the highest
standards of excellence for our students and expecting the best results
from them. This is why we partnered with the World Wide Workshop to
bring Globaloria to all of our students as a core component of our daily
curriculum.

Globaloria lets students target those areas where they struggle most
while enabling them to tap into creative potential many did not even
know they possessed. And it is igniting in them a love of self-learning
that can enrich their lives forever.

Globaloria is the kind of educational transformation we need in our
schools and we believe it is providing a road map for how to change the
game of education in the 21st century. We are proud to be the change we
want to see.
